Gardner Spring 36094GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36094GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and built for consistent, repeatable performance in demanding mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.48-inch outside diameter and a free length of 0.875 inches, with a wire diameter of 0.0551 inches and closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating. The spring rate is 33.04 pounds per inch, and the maximum working load is 17.39 pounds. These specifications make it suitable for light-duty actuation, valve, and tensioning applications where dimensional precision and corrosion resistance are required. Maintenance techs, OEM assemblers, and mechanical contractors working with small-component assemblies are the typical installers.

This spring fits applications requiring a compact compression element with a 0.50-inch hole diameter clearance. It is appropriate for use in HVAC controls, plumbing valve assemblies, small actuators, and similar mechanical systems where a stainless steel spring meeting AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards is specified. The plain silver finish and stainless steel construction resist corrosion in wet or humid environments, making it a practical choice for both indoor and light outdoor service conditions.

Key Features

• 0.48-inch outside diameter with 0.0551-inch wire diameter for precise dimensional fit
• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating and consistent load transfer
• Spring rate of 33.04 pounds per inch supports predictable deflection under load
• Maximum working load of 17.39 pounds suits light-duty actuation and valve applications
• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain silver finish resists corrosion in humid or wet service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD, 0.875-inch free length stainless steel spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or assemblers working on small-component mechanical systems. De-energize and depressurize the system before servicing any spring-loaded component. Use appropriate hand tools and wear eye protection when compressing or seating precision springs, as stored energy can cause sudden movement. Verify that the mating bore diameter of 0.50 inches or greater is met in the receiving assembly to ensure proper seating and load transfer.
